This
guide will give you directions for nail care, but may not have the same
direction and hands-on experience offered by a Professional School of
Cosmetology. You can dry nails with a hair dryer or similar device at a low
speed at a moderate temperature. Do your hands positioned under the
heat source for at least three minutes and then sit still, touch
nothing, and wait a minute or two to avoid stains or smears that will
ruin your efforts.

Steps of Nail Care:
1 - Fill tray with warm water and sudsy liquid (the trick is to
water at the correct temperature to soften the skin without being too
hot to touch)
2 - Place one hand in the bowl and let it soak time for a few minutes
3 - If you give someone else a manicure, you can use oil or Moisturizer for massage one hand while the other is soaking
4 - Remove soaking hand and pat dry time by hand towel
5 - Place other hand in tray soak time for a few minutes
6 - During the second hand is soaking, you should carefully begin
trimming nagelriemen that form around the edges of the nail itself
(NOTE: Be careful what you do, so you do not cut too close and at the
end of the skin to bleed. If your time and trim slowly with small
strokes, you good.)
7 - If your timing is perfect, you will be finished cutting the
nagelriemen that before the first hand gets wrinkled from being in the
hot water too long. (Hint: Try not to hurry the cuticle trimming
process to make your timing work. Instead, try to remember to check off
on the time course of hand midway through the cutting nagelriemen. If
the water is cold or the hand shows hints of wrinkling skin that is
your cue to stop the operation and weeks pat hand dry with hand towel,
apply some lotion and go back to the trimming procedure.)
8 - If you've finished trimming nagelriemen on both hands, make
sure all loose skin is removed from nail area. Begin to polish nails
with clear base coat by applying a thin layer as smoothly and carefully
as possible. Trying to hold on Polish nails alone. If you accidentally
too much or get extra polish on skin around nails, use a cotton swab
dipped in nail polish remover light for your mistake.
9 - After applying base coat to both hands, choose Polish color
and repeat the previous procedure starting with the same side you
started with last time. Follow the guidelines described above for the
best results.
10 -The next application is a top coat to seal or protection for
colored polish. Repeat the previous steps to ensure success in this
process. Remember less is better when it comes to nail polish. Thick
layers lead to messy results.
11 - You have two choices for this process to complete your manicure last.
